Kidderminster v Luton Preview

And so a stuttering Project Luton arrives in Kidderminster.

After wholesale changes, in the Hatters squad, it wasn`t supposed to be like this was it? Okay we expected a settling in period as the team gelled but after demolishing Arsenal and Aston Villa in pre-season, did we really believe that we`d be languishing in 14th place in the Conference after five games?

Furthermore, did we think that Project Luton, in those five games would provide us with just one win and that in the last three games we`d come away with nothing more than a draw?

Although it is still early days for Project Luton, the concerns are already there that we`ll soon be dropping too far off the pace and we`ll spend the season trying to play catch up.

Kidderminster (away) will be a hard match, the Harriers were unlucky not too get promoted last season and will be looking to make sure this time. Our hosts go into this game with only the one injury concern, James Tolley, whilst John Still`s side has a raft of problems.

The influential Alex Lawless has still to kick a ball in anger with the combative midfielder troubled by a groin strain. Anthony Charles is also unavailable after picking up a shoulder injury against Salisbury.

Also out is Jon Shaw who finally succumbed to the hernia problem that has troubled him all season to go under the surgeons` knife. Shaw`s absence could see a debut for the new on-loan signing, from Swindon Town, Paul Benson. However the participation of Alex Wall and Mark Cullen remains doubtful. However, some resilience might be restored to the midfield if Soloman Taiwo makes his comeback after sitting out the game against Cambridge on Bank Holiday Monday.

Come on you Hatters it`s time for another win or else questions really might be asked!
